Sami: Kate!
I got your text.
Hey, did you find Gabi and Nick?
I guess you did.

Nicole: Okay.
Talk about a buzzkill.

Miles: Only because you're
looking at it the wrong way,
Nicole.
Come on, you're going back to
work, and you're handed this
huge story on a platter.
Right?
And everybody's talking about
this priest with the huge
secret, and, come on, frankly
this video could still go
public.

Nicole: Not if there's a God.

Miles: Nicole.
Can you spell "going viral"?

Nicole: I still don't see how
this has been handed to me on a
platter.

Miles: Oh, come on.
You worked with the guy, right?
The two of you are friends.
Aren't you?
Aren't you?
Nicole, wow, it is a simple
question.

Nicole: Not really.

Marlena: I spoke to your
father.

Eric: So this isn't about
Kristen.

Marlena: He's calling in
favors to try to get a warrant.
He wants to get a look at
Kristen's papers and her
personal belongings.

Eric: So he's not afraid of
what he might find?

Marlena: Eric.
Your father is fighting very
hard for you, but this is--it's
a very challenging situation.

Eric: By challenging, you
mean there's no evidence to back
up my accusation.

Marlena: Your father and hope
are talking to everybody--to the
bishop, to father matt, so they
can confirm your story.
And your father thinks that
he'll have a warrant to search
the mansion as early as tomorrow
morning.

Eric: Giving EJ more than
enough time to destroy anything
that implicates Kristen.

Brady: Tell me where she is.
Where is she?

EJ: Illegal entry and
assault and criminally--

Brady: It's not funny.
You tell me where she is.
Tell me where she is!

EJ: Such a lout.
Cliché--

Brady: EJ, you tell me where
she is, or I'm gonna end you
right now.
Tell me!

Sami: Why do I have a sick
feeling of déja-vu?

Kate: Tell me about it.

Gabi: He was--he was--I
didn't want to hurt him.
I just wanted to stop him.

Sami: Well, what you did was
kill him.

Gabi: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, no, what am I gonna
do?

Sami: I'd say 20 to life.
Whether they
go to the next page...

Gabi: No, no, no, no, he--he
came at me.
He attacked me.

Sami: Why would he attack
you?
You do whatever he wants.

Kate: Okay, Sami--

Sami: Well, she can sell her
story to the judge.
You could lie to the judge just
the same way you lie to will,
you lie to me, you lie to
everyone.

Sami: You're right. I can't.
I don't have any reception.
I'm going to town.
I'll call from there.

Kate: Damn it, Sami, you are
not going anywhere.

Sami: Kate.

EJ: You know,
Dudley do-right, there is
nothing that I would like more
than to knock some sense through
that thick skull of yours and
watch you get carted away by the
police.
So, now that you've taken your
hand off my throat and 'cause my
sister is not here to defend
you, go ahead, take your best
shot.

Brady: You--you knew.

EJ: [Laughing]

Brady: You knew what Kristen
did for months.
You knew it for months, and you
didn't say anything.

EJ: I did not know for
months.
Not that I would have cared if I
had.
Frankly, what happens between
two consenting adults in the
privacy of a hotel room is none
of my business.

Brady: Oh, shut up.
You know damn well that Eric did
not consent to anything that
happened on that video.

EJ: Well, that's what Eric
says.
Only he knows--well, him and his
precious God, I suppose.

Brady: No.
Kristen knows.
And you know.
And you're lying to me right
now.

EJ: Brady, you can save your
breath, okay?
I don't hear another lecture
about how morally bankrupt I am
or about how you can't
understand how Samantha can bear
to live in a house with me,
considering how vile I am.
[Coughs]

Brady: EJ, this is Stefano's
roof, all right?
And this is not about Sami.
This is about Kristen, your
psychopath sister who makes
other psychopaths look morally
upright in comparison.
That's what your sister is, and
she gets away with everything.
Everything in this world.
But not this time.
This time she is going down.

Marlena: Sami said that EJ is
doing everything that he can--

Eric: Mom, I talk to Sami.
You don't have to tell me what
she says.

Marlena: Oh, well, I guess
you don't need me for anything--

Eric: Mom.
I just want to be alone.
I don't trust myself about almost anything.
I just want to take pictures.
For one, I might have to get
back into this line of work,
and, two, because I know I can't
hurt anybody taking pictures.

Marlena: Do you think by
talking to me you--you hurt
somebody?

Eric: Mom.

Marlena: Eric, by not talking
to me, you hurt me incredibly.

Eric: Mom, you know the
cliché "keep it together"?
I'm just trying to keep it
together.

Marlena: Well, your father is
going to make it very clear what
Kristen did, and you will still
be a priest.

Eric: Yeah, well, even if she
was confronted and she
confessed, it would still take a
long time before I'm reinstated.

Marlena: You mean until
things get back to the way they
were.

Eric: No.
Things are never gonna be like
they were before.

Victor: Would you like a
drink while you tell me off?

Caroline: Don't be glib.
Not now.
And would you look me in the
eye, damn it?
You're always going on about
your family.
Let me tell you something about
someone in my family--Eric.
Eric, who helped the poorest,
most miserable people on earth.
Not only helped them, he loved
them.
And he shared his joy with them.
But you killed that joy.
Purposely.
What makes you think it's okay
to destroy someone I love?

Nicole: Look, my relationship
with Eric was not personal.
We worked together.
That's all.

Miles: Ah, right, okay, so
let me get this straight, you
worked long hours for no money
to hone your secretarial skills?

Nicole: I needed a job.

Miles: And now you have your
dream job.
And no matter what you say about
your reputation and your
relationship with this man, you
know him.
You know him through and
through, and you know everybody
else that's involved with this
story.
Nicole, this could launch your
comeback.
Don't you see this?
Not everybody gets handed a
story like this every day.
We could bury the competition.
You could call your own shots,
name your own figure.

Nicole: All right, all right.

Miles: I mean, the sky's the
limit.

Nicole: Let me make something
very clear--nothing is going to
make me do a hatchet job on
Eric Brady.

Kate: Sami, look, you don't
know what you're doing.

Gabi: Sami, please.

Sami: I know will could bring
the baby to visit you in prison.
It's a lot closer than New York.

Kate: Ah, here we go.

Sami: You could do a fashion
show for cell block nine.

Kate: Would you stop?
Just stop and listen, because
you don't know what you're
talking about.
I found Gabi and Nick at
Horton square, and they were
fighting, and, believe me, it
was ugly.

Sami: Really?
As ugly as this guy here with
his head bashed in?

Gabi: No!

Kate: Sami, there were
witnesses, okay, and now he's
dead, so, if those witnesses
tell the police, they're not
gonna believe that it was
self-defense.

Kate: It was self-defense.
And she could end up going to
prison, okay?

Sami: Then she will finally,
finally pay for something that
she has done.

Kate: Sami, she was telling
Nick that she didn't want to go
to New York, okay?
That's why they were fighting.

Sami: That's not true.
She made it very clear to will
that she was taking that baby
and going to New York.

Gabi: No. No.

Sami: Of course she left out
the fun fact that you were going
with Nick "piece of dirt"
Fallon.

Kate: Oh, nice.
Rest in peace.

Sam he's a creep, and she
was gonna let him near Arianna.
To hell with will, to hell the
fact that he's the father.

Kate: No, that's not true,
because, after you and Rafe
talked to her, she realized it
was wrong to take the baby to
New York.
You got through to her, okay?

Sami: I don't think anyone
gets through to her, Kate.

Kate: That's why he attacked
her, because she told him that
she wanted to stay in Salem,
that she wasn't gonna go to
New York with him.
That's what happened here.

Gabi: Oh, my God.
Nick.
No.
[Sobs]
Last year was the biggest flu
you to do a hatchet job, okay?
I used to be an altar boy, for
crying out loud.
Seriously, I don't want you to
trash father Eric.
I don't.
Really.

Nicole: You're working me.
I know it.

Miles: Hear me out.
Everybody's piling on the padre,
okay?
They're all talking about the
priest sex angle, the falling
from grace, blah, blah, blah.
And that's just picking from the
low-hanging fruit.
If you could get an exclusive
with this guy, if you can get
him to sit down and open up and
tell his side of the story,
think about how much good this
would do for him.
Not to mention it is one hell of
a story for you.

Victor: The woman had to be
stopped.
Eric was collateral damage.

Caroline: Oh, I could slap
you for that.

Victor: Oh, for God's sake,
woman, think of what you've done
for your family.
Eric was just a one-night stand.
Brady was gonna marry her.

Caroline: It was not a
one-night stand.

Victor: Well, I didn't know
that.
And I didn't set anything up
either.
That video just dropped in my
lap at the last minute when I
had no other options.

Caroline: She drugged him.

Victor: I know you need to
believe that, but you have no
proof.

Caroline: Eric said it
happened, and Eric doesn't lie.

Victor: Men have been lying
about sex since the garden of
Eden.

Caroline: You want to think
the worst of Eric so you can
excuse the worst in yourself,
your cruelty.
Well, there's no excuse of what
you did, none!

EJ: You know, if I had any
incriminating evidence on
Kristen or any knowledge of her
whereabouts, I'd be quite
tempted to share it with you
just so I could spare myself
another morally-outraged Brady
aria, but I don't.
And if I did, I wouldn't be here
talking to you.
I would be with her, comforting
her.

Brady: Lying bitches don't
need comfort, EJ.

EJ: She's my sister.
And I care about her in exactly
the same way you care about your
brother.

Brady: You don't care about
her.
You care about you!
You care about EJ.
What's best for EJ.
You always have.

EJ: Okay, well, think that
through.
I want to be with Samantha.
She would never stay with me if
she found out that I knew where
Kristen was and I withheld that
information.

Brady: Yeah, unless--and this
just comes off the top of my
head--you lied to her.
Which you've been doing since
you laid eyes on her.

EJ: Well, that would be very
bad of me, wouldn't it?

Brady: I know there's more
than what you're telling me.
When I find out that truth, EJ,
you will answer to me.

Kate: Oh, really?
'Cause that's all there is to
the story, right?
Everything is always exactly
what it seems to be.

Sami: This is nothing like
what happened to me.

Kate: Oh, yeah, except that
it is.
That's exactly what happened
with you and Bernardi.
There's more here than meets the
eye.
Believe me.
I heard her tell Nick that she
changed her mind about going to
New York.
You made her change her mind.
It sunk into her because it's
more important to her to be a
mother than a model, Sami.

Sami: You heard it yourself?

Kate: You should have seen
the look on her face when he let
it slip out that he had lined up
that whole modeling job for her.
She had no idea he was planning
to go to New York.

Sami: She didn't know that?

Kate: No, big surprise,
right?
That our dear, sweet--sweet,
innocent Nick was manipulating
her.
'Cause he believed that she was
still in love with him.
He believed it just the same way
he believed Melanie was still in
love with him.
So loudly and publicly she told
him it wasn't the case.
She told him she thought he was
totally out of his mind, and,
trust me, he did not like being
humiliated in public.

Sami: She conveniently
murders him.

Gabi: No--
he had his hands on me.
He was--he was--he was--he was--
[Sobs]

Kate: Are you gonna let
Arianna's mother go to prison
for that?

Nick: I think the best thing
that could happen would be for
will and his whole family to be
shut out of this baby's life.

Sami: Will has rights to that
child.
He gets to decide how much
access you have to that baby--

Nick: I love Gabi and that
baby, and there's no way I'm
gonna let a bitch like you ever
hurt them again.

Sami: You don't have any
rights to this child!
You are a blackmailer and a
murderer, and you are trying to
steal another man's child.
You don't deserve to raise any
child, never mind my son's
daughter.
[Screams]

Nick: I'm sorry it's come to
this.
You le me no choice.
And now you're coming with me.

Sami: Well, I guess that son
of a bitch finally got what he
deserved.
Okay, ladies, what's the plan?
Get in the bag, get in the bag,
get in the bag, now!

Kate: Okay, see, Sami's come
around.
Everything's gonna be okay.

Gabi: How--how is everything
gonna be okay?
I just killed somebody.

Sami: Okay, shh.

Kate: No, you did not kill
someone.
You protected yourself.
You protected yourself.
Now you're gonna have to pull it
all together 'cause we have a
lot to do.
I know that no one saw me follow
her here.
What about you?

Sami: I think I'm good.
What are we gonna do with--

Kate: Shh, shh.

[Rushing sound]

Kate:
The river is really close by.

Gabi: Oh, my God.

Sami: Well, lucky for us he's
skinny.
Okay.
Here, you hold that.

Kate: Okay, great.
Gabi, get the rock, put it in
his backpack.

Sami: Okay.

Kate: Go ahead. Do it.

Sami: Okay.

Kate: You take that one.

Sami: Can you grab--
there, got him.

Kate: Not as skinny as we
thought.

Sami: One, two--okay--damn!

Kate: What? What's wrong?

Sami: I chipped my nail.

Kate: For God's sakes.

[Both grunting]

Kate:
Oh, come on.
[Groaning]

Nicole: So you're saying
we'll be giving Eric a chance
to tell his side of the story.

Miles: Exactly.
He can defend his reputation
that a lot of people are
hell-bent on destroying at this
point.
What do you say?
Will you get in touch with him
for me?

Nicole: I'll think about it.

Miles: Well, you better think
about this--
you could be his only hope.

Nicole: Whatever.
Like you said, if I did do this,
it'll be good for my career.
Clink.

Miles: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Marlena: Eric.
It's fine to look at things
through a lens.
It's not fine to run away.
There are so many people--so
many people who love you--

Eric: Mom, I just want to be
alone, all right?
I'm just struggling to
understand why God let this
happen to me.
I just want to understand what
God's will was in all of this.
And what kills me the most is
that I may not even find it.

Marlena: Everybody gets
tested.
You're going to be fine.

Eric: You know what,
sometimes shooting pictures is
interesting, it's nice...
my life was being a priest.
If they take that away from me,
I don't even know what I'm gonna
do.

Marlena: You're not being
punished for this.
You did nothing wrong.

Eric: No, but I did some
things wrong.
It may not be what's getting the
most attention, but I just need
to examine my own conscience,
so...

Marlena: Eric, Eric, you seem
so lost.

Eric: Mom, I am so sorry, but
I can't talk about this anymore.

Brady: I should have known
better than to come here for
answers.

EJ: Brady, when have you ever
known better?

Brady: I just hope that when
Sami finds out what you really
are, it's not as painful as it
was finding out about your
sister.

EJ: Well, she's not quite as
fragile as you.

Brady: You're a jerk.

EJ: Brady...
there is one thing that I can
share with you.
It may help you understand my
sister's methods and her
motives.
Who knows?
Maybe it will help you find her.

Brady: You know what, I'm not
interested in hearing more
excuses about what your sister
did to my brother.
Not interested.
J: EJ: This has nothing to do
with Eric.
It's to do with you.
How my sister felt about you.

Sami: Okay.

Kate: That's it. Turn--

Sami: I'm trying.
Okay, I did not exactly pick the
right shoe-

Kate: Do you want to try
six-inch spikes, Sami?
You want to trade off?

Sami: Oh, my God, you know
what, Kate, I do.

Gabi: I heard something.
I think I heard something.

Kate: Get over here.

Sami: Oh, my God. Okay.
Come on.
Oh, God, give me that.

Greetings.

Kate: Ah, greetings.

I hope I'm not hallucinating.
It's not every night one
encounters three lovely ladies
in the woods.
What are you doing?

Sami: [Chuckles]

Kate: Funny you should ask.

Kate: So our friend here
wants to know what we're doing.

Sami: Well, we could ask him
the same question, couldn't we?

Kate: Yes.
See, my friend here thinks we
could ask you the same question.
But I don't know, maybe you
wouldn't want to answer that
question, a distinguished
gentleman like you alone afoot
in the forest.
Maybe you're up to no good.

Sami: Yeah, I mean, that's
what we're doing.
We're up to no good too.

No, I'm harmless, as I'm sure
you are.
In fact the only dangerous thing
in these woods is the
megascops asio.
I spotted one earlier.
A female.

Sami: And you lived to tell
of it.

The megascops asio is the
eastern screech owl.
So you ladies have nothing to
fear.
They only prey on small rodents.

Sami: That's funny.
I know where she could find one.

Oh, wish I had spotted a
male.

Kate: Story of my life.
You know, I think did spot one
a mile that way.

Oh. No point.
It's too dark now.
It'd be impossible to find your
way.
In fact would you do me the
honor of escorting you back to
the safety of Horton town
square?

Sami: Oh, you know what,
thank you, but we actually--

No, no, let me be clear.
I won't take no for an answer.
Why don't you let me help you
with your bag and we shall be
back in civilization in no time
flat.

Victor: I couldn't let Brady
marry that woman.
I had to expose her.
And then face the consequences.

Victor: The way that you're
looking at me, I know that I've
lost something that I really
treasure.
And I think I've lost it
forever.

Caroline: That may be true.
I don't see how Maggie can bear
to live with you.
Has she left you?
Oh.
Good.
Maybe something good has come
out of all this.

Brady: I'm not gonna stand
here and listen to any more of
your spin.
What?

EJ: You know what I'm going
to say.
Kristen loved you.
She loved you more than she
loved her own family.
She chose you over revenge
against john and Marlena.
That revenge was at the very
core of her being.
And she chose you over that.

Brady: Your sister drugged
and literally raped my brother,
EJ.
I don't think she did that out
of love for me.

EJ: She loved you!
A hell of a lot more than you
loved her.
And, if you trusted her, if you
listened to her explanation at
your first aborted wedding, I am
damn sure that whatever happened
between Eric and Kristen would
never have happened.
So you think about that.
And get out of my house.

Nicole: Eric.

Eric: Nicole.
What are you doing here?

Nicole: I came to see you.

Sami: Um, sir, what a kind
gentleman you are, but actually
my friends and I, we are staying
out here until it gets dark
because we are looking for a
thespesius occidentalus, and
it's completely nocturnal, so we
are bound and determined to see
one.

Sami: Okay, you know what,
you have to.
Okay, you have to deal with this
for Arianna.
Do you want to be there when she
wakes up tomorrow, or do you
want to be in prison?

Gabi: Okay, let's just get
this over with.

Sami: Yeah, okay.
Here, Kate.

Kate: What?

Sami: Give me your bag.
Here. Okay?
Okay.

Kate: You ready to do this?

Sami: All right. Yes.

Kate: Okay.

[Both grunt]

Sami: Ready? On three.
One, two, three.

[Both groaning]

Sami:
All right, together, together.
Okay, okay.

Brady: Stupid son of a--
I didn't see you there.

Victor: So who's the son of a
bitch?

Brady: EJ.
Tried to get him to tell me
where Kristen is, and a bunch of
lies fell out of his mouth.

Victor: I could have told you
talking to EJ would have been a
waste of time.
Well, it's been a fun night for
everyone.

Brady: Yeah, it has.
[Grunts]

Eric: I am so happy to see
you.

Nicole: I want to talk to
you.

Eric: Anything.
Just call the shots.
I'm listening.

Nicole: I think--I think you
should get a chance to tell your
side of the story.

Eric: I think my side of the
story is pretty straightforward.
I screwed up, and I'm really
sorry about it.

Nicole: I'm not talking about
.
I'm talking about what happened
to you and all the trouble
you're in.

Eric: I'm sorry.
I guess I don't understand.

Nicole: Just give me--give me
a second.

Eric: Nicole, what the--

Nicole: I think you should
start from the beginning.
I think you should start from
what happened between you and
Kristen DiMera.

Gabi: What if they find the
body?

Kate: Oh, my God, the current
here is very strong, very
dangerous, especially this time
of year.
People go in rarely.

Sami: Fun facts from the
former Mrs. DiMera.

Kate: Well, body disposal was
a constant concern.

Sami: I'm sure it was.

Gabi: Can you just stop?
Please, stop acting like that.

Kate: Sorry. Sorry.
It's just our way of dealing
with things.
I guess we've forgotten what it
means to be sweet and innocent.

Gabi: I am not innocent.
Look at what I did.

Kate: Okay, Gabi, you
defended yourself against a
person who was sick and was
dangerous.
You know, I for one don't mourn
a man who treated women the way
Nick did.
Okay?
So now, look, you need to get
yourself together, 'cause we're
almost done with this.
Okay?
We're almost done with it.
Okay.

Kate: Yeah, no, you don't.
All right.
Like I said, let's get this
done, okay?

Sami: Oh, here.
Come on, Gabi.
Hey, hey, you got to cover our
tracks.

Eric: So this was just a
setup?

Nicole: No.

Eric: You know, what I
thought--I thought--was stupid,
you know, impossible that you
wanted to actually talk to me,
but actually you just wanted to
use me as a story.

Nicole: Now, listen, this
could be good for both of us.

Eric: No, for one of us.
I'm nothing but a story for you
now.

Nicole: Well, what the hell
did you expect?

[Cell phone rings]

Brady: Hello?

You're looking for
Kristen DiMera?
I know where you can find her.

EJ: Another fine mess you got
me into.
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know.
She's family.

[Both groaning]

Kate: A little bit--

[Both grunting]

Both: Oh, my God.

Kate: Gabi, get that rock,
throw it in the river.

Gabi: I don't know if I--

Kate: Just do it.

Gabi: All right.

Kate: Great. Our turn.

Sami: Okay, okay, okay.

Kate: All right, let's see
here--

Sami: I don't think we're
gonna be able to do this.

Kate: Come on.

Gabi: Oh, my God, no, no, no,
this is not right.
What about his family?
What about Maggie?
No, we can't do this.
This is not right.

Sami: Oh, God. Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
You will go to prison for what
you did.
We will go to prison for helping
you move the body.
He didn't care about you.
Nick didn't care about the baby.
He didn't care about his family.
He definitely didn't care about
Maggie Horton.
You need to concentrate on
Arianna, okay?
You think about that baby.
She needs you, and she needs you
to be tough right now.
You can cry tomorrow.

Gabi: You're right.
You're right.

Sami: Good.
Now, Gabi, you have to suck it
up, because you are going to
help us put that body in the
river, okay?
